Sandy McClellan hasn't added a story.
Hi everyone, thank you for being here and helping me, I have no family to assist me and my children on this insane journey of a beast of a disease that does not want to go away! This is Sandy McClellan and as many of you know I have been battling cancer since Oct. 2012 when I was diagnosed with stage 3 invasive ductal carcinoma (HER2 +), I'm still fighting and I'm still here! After 8 rounds of chemo and a bilateral mastectomy things were better for awhile. But sadly my last PET scan (in the pic) shows malignancy, a NEW form of cancer (UPDATE....MASSES NOW FOUND ON OVARIES AS WELL) and I have been going through a lot of tests (labs tumor markers CT) and had lymph node surgery and an endoscopy and I'm nowhere near done. MEDICAID Fast Track Program for breast and cervical cancer will not approve tests and treatment for seperate secondary cancer as it is not related to my original diagnosis. As many of you also know I am a mom of 6 and I have been workin' hard and doing all I can to care for my family. It is HARD when you ar so exhausted, can't keep food down, and MUST KEEP GOING to survive. My situation is this, I need more scans/tests, mostly a second PET, that my insurance will not cover and since this problem with carcinoma lies in the pancreatic area I cannot wait the 18 months until my insurance will give approval to cover these scan. So although I have saved some of the cost I fall short and I need to find some supporters who would help with the amount I need to cover the medical costs so I can move on toward treatment. Supporting my family is a tight enough budget, able to cover most basic needs by scraping, and I just dont have the finances to cover these necessary expenses, and I cannot have the scan and procedures until they are paid for paid first. Any support is amazing, any bit will help and even if you can just spread it around that would be awesome! Thank you for supporting my fundraiser and I am soooo grateful I have survived this far and I plan on being around a lot longer! Lots of love....Sandy
